Fish photos wanted

Did you or someone you know recently land a large or unique
fish? The News-Sentinel is accepting photograph submissions for its
Catch of the Week feature. Photos can be e-mailed to
sports@lodinews.com or dropped by the office at 125 N. Church St.
Please include the size and weight of the fish as well as when and
where it was caught and what bait was used.

A few sturgeon have been reported this past week and in many
areas in the Delta. One of the baits we have heard repeated by a
fair number of anglers is to use a piece of eel and nightcrawler on
the hook together. The fish are scattered throughout the Delta.
Striped bass are still on a slow bite but we are hearing about a
few more than in the past few weeks.

At Camanche, trolling has picked up a bit and the top 10 feet of
water is where the fish seem to be holding. One good method has
been to use a wooly bugger behind either a worm wiggler or a wiggle
fin and put on a small piece of bait for scent. The bait fishermen
are still taking fish on most parts of the lake using power bait or
power eggs.
